So far, more than 6 lakh drafts have been downloaded by the property owners.

E-khata simply means electronically approved khata. It may be either ‘A’ and ‘B’ khata. The BBMP’s 22 lakh manual property khatas were in physical registers. The same has been digitised and draft khatas are uploaded online. As the Revenue Department has made e-khata mandatory for registration of properties it is necessary to secure it for those who want to sell the property. At this juncture, it is not necessary that everyone has to download the same as securing this is not made mandatory.

Before downloading the final document, the owners will get a draft. The draft is the online e-khatas put out by the BBMP by digitising the basic property information. The draft khata has details about the name of the owner, property identification number, assessment number, ward name and village name. The owners have to upload other required details.

According to BBMP Special Commissioner (Revenue), Munish Moudgil this is one of the largest digital property ownership management systems in India. This is faceless and contactless, will bring transparency, integrated with sub-registrars, automatic mutations and has a blockchain enabled system.

The aim is to make a single source of truth of property and land records, automatic property tax system, automatic mutation based on Aadhaar and eliminate corruption in procuring khata permanently.

Unable to find property information when searching by typing the owner’s name on the website to download a draft of e-khata? The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike says there are multiple reasons for the same and has devised a redressal mechanism.

Many users are complaining that they are struggling to find the draft as their property details are not popping when names are typed on the search column.
